WELCOME TO DISCOVERING CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
We're glad you've chosen to find out more about Real Life Family Center! This class is the basic
introduction to our church family. Since we have members from many different church backgrounds, this
class was designed to clearly explain who and what our church is.
Discovering Church Membership is divided in four sessions of an hour each and is taught by our Senior
pastor, HR Huntsman, who restarted the church in August of 1994.
THE BASICS FOR THIS CLASS
"...You are a member of God's very own family... and you belong in God's household with every other
Christian. " Ephesians. 2:19
Key Truths:
1. The church is family
2. God expects you to be member of a church family.
3. A Christian without a church family is A spiritual orphan.
THE GOAL OF THIS CLASS
...That I will commit myself to the Great Commission
and to the Commandment
